The 71-year-old lives with her daughter, son-in-law and their three children.

All six had been sharing the same rented house in Los Angeles but, after living there for seven years, they could no longer pay the rent and were forced to move out.

Wood's daughter Evan has been suffering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer, and lung disease, which has left the family with mounting medical bills. Wood, too, needs to have two knee replacement surgeries.

And since the boat's skipper Dennis Davern said in 2011that he believed Wagner was responsible, Lana has demanded that Wagner speak again with police about what happened that night.

She even confronted him, on camera, at an event celebrating another former Bond girl, and Wagner's current wife, Jill St John. Wagner, however, has always denied any involvement in Natalie's death and the police do not consider him a suspect.

Lana's strong feelings about her sister's death has lead to estrangement from Natalie's two children. But she says that if Natalie were alive today that she would be "devastated" and would "fix" Lana's problems.

However, things might be looking up. A family friend has set up a Gofundme page on behalf of the Wood family, which has received over $23,000 US in donations, so far.
